The Greatest Miracle
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 D.L. MOODYIf the words of this text are true, they embody one of the most solemn questions. We can afford to be deceived about many things rather than about this one thing. Christ makes it very plain. He says, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”—much less inherit it. This doctrine of the new birth is therefore the foundation of all our hopes for the world to come. It is … Read More >

Living In Babylon, Yet Not Of Babylon
Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you. 2 Corinthians 6:17 D.L. MOODYI believe that a Christian should lead a separated life. The line between the church and the world is almost obliterated today. I have no sympathy with the idea that you must hunt up an old musty church record in order to find out whether a man is a member of the church or not. A man ought to live so that everybody will know he is a Christian. The Bible … Read More >

Little Disciples
And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. Mark 10:13 D.L. MOODYI have no sympathy with the idea that our children have to grow up before they are converted. Once I saw a lady with three daughters at her side, and I stepped up to her and asked her if she was a Christian. “Yes, sir.” Then I asked the oldest daughter if she was a Christian. Her chin began to quiver and tears came into her eyes and she said: “I wish I was.” The mother looked very angrily … Read More >

Spiritual Surgery
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:46 D.L. MOODYAfter all, we do not gain much by discussion. Let objectors or inquirers only get one personal interview with the Son of God, and that will scatter all their darkness, all their prejudice, and all their unbelief. The moment that Philip succeeded in getting Nathanael to Christ, the work was done. ERWIN LUTZERMy brothers and sisters, when the Holy Spirit of God does His work to show us our sin and our need of Christ, it is … Read More >

The Fruit of Joy
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. John 15:11 D.L. MOODYPeople should look for joy in the Word, and not in the world. They should look for the joy, which the Scriptures furnish, and then go to work in the vineyard, because a joy that doesn’t send me out to someone else, a joy that doesn’t impel me to go and help the poor drunkard, a joy that doesn’t prompt me to visit the widow and the fatherless, a joy that doesn’t cause me to … Read More >

A Unique Hope
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13 D.L. MOODYWherever I have found a worker in God’s vineyard who has lost hope, I have found a man or woman not very useful. It is very important to have hope in the church; and it is the work of the Holy Ghost to impart hope. Let Him come into some of the churches where there have not been any conversions for a few years, and let Him convert … Read More >

Drinking Freely From The Water of Life
Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1 D.L. MOODYI pity those people who are all the time looking to see what they will have to give up. God wants to bestow His marvelous grace on His people, and there is not a soul who has believed on Jesus for whom God has not an abundance of grace in store. What would you say of a man dying of thirst on the banks of a beautiful river … Read More >

The Works of Christ Done by Us Today
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12 D.L. MOODYI used to stumble over that verse, but the longer I live, the more I am convinced it is a greater thing to influence a man whose will is set against God, to have that will broken and brought into subjection to God’s will—or, in other words, it is a greater thing to have power over a living, sinning, God-hating man, than to … Read More >

Brought Into Light
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 D.L. MOODYYou can look abroad and see many beautiful trees, but the tree of life you shall never behold unless your eyes are made clear by faith in the Saviour. You may see the beautiful rivers of the Earth, you may ride upon their bosoms, but bear in mind, your eye will never rest upon the river which bursts out from the throne of God and flows through the upper kingdom unless you are born again. … Read More >

Supernatural Witness
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8 D.L. MOODYIf these early Christians had gone out and commenced preaching then and there without the promised power, do you think that scene would have taken place on the day of Pentecost? Peter would have stood up and beat against the air, while the Jews would have gnashed their teeth and mocked him. But they tarried in Jerusalem; they waited ten days. “What!” … Read More >
